My
highlighted verses: Romans 5:1 ¶Therefore being justified by
faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
2
By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand,
and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
3 And not
only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh
patience;
4 And patience,
experience; and experience, hope:
5 And hope
maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts
by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
6 ¶For
when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
7 For scarcely
for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some
would even dare to die.
8 But God
commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ
died for us.
9
Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from
wrath through him.
10
For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of
his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
11
And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
by whom we have now received the atonement.
12 Wherefore,
as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death
passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
13
(For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there
is no law.
14
Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had
not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure
of him that was to come.
15 But not
as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of
one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which
is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
16 And not
as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one
to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.
17
For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which
receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign
in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
18
Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation;
even so by the righteousness of one the free
gift came upon all men unto justification
of life.
19
For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience
of one shall many be made righteous.
20 Moreover
the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded,
grace did much more abound:
21 That as
sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness
unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits;
to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy
Spirit, you accomplish both.
